São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
Armenia is a landlocked country located in the Transcaucasus region of Western Asia, with its capital Yerevan as its political, economic and cultural center. One of the oldest countries in the world, Armenia has a long history dating back to the 6th century B.C. and was the first country to adopt Christianity as its state religion (301 A.D.). Cities such as Yerevan are dotted with medieval churches, monasteries and stone crosses (khachkars) and are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The Armenian language is a separate branch of the Indo-European family and has a unique script. The cities are a blend of Eastern and Western cultures, and Yerevan's Republic Square, the Blue Mosque, and the ancient monasteries on the shores of Lake Sevan are a testament to its diverse charms. Despite the changes in history, Armenia has maintained its rich national traditions and hospitality.
